I am a seasoned professional with 20+ years of emergency response and physical security experience with the US Army and the New York State Police. Recognized for demonstrating a natural aptitude for conducting criminal investigations, as well as for identifying and mitigating threats. As such, I have consistently exceeded performance expectations, and I am adept at achieving optimal results with minimal obstacles. Professional focal points include antiterrorism and vulnerability assessments, documentation management, logistics coordination, process optimization, program management, strategic planning, and team training and leadership. Currently, I am the Senior Investigator - Bureau of Criminal Investigation with the New York State Police. Under my leadership, I organize, execute, and direct all phases of large-scale investigations while overseeing a dedicated criminal investigations squad. I also conduct rigorous documentation reviews in order to confirm the accuracy and completeness of case reports and ensure compliance with agency standards. In addition, I liaise with senior leadership, outside agencies, and cross-functional teams to ensure the public’s safety support structure is driving confidence in the Police Force across the community. Colleagues describe me as a progressive, driven, down-to-earth, law enforcement and criminal investigation expert who can be relied on to offer superior solutions that consistently deliver desirable results.
